Esau and Jacob Александр Ковалёв
1 Verse: The sun beat down on Canaan's dust Two nations struggled in one bust The first was red and hairy-skinned A hunter with the wind,my friend His name was Esau,strong and loud A man who stood out from the crowd The second followed,holding on A quiet boy,the dusk till dawn His name was Jacob tent-bound soul Who longed to have a firm control. Chorus: Oh, the birthright and the blessing, a father's word and name A promise made to Abraham fanned into a flame But for a single, hungry moment, and a pot of stew so red The future of a people on a single choice was shed. 2 Verse: Now Esau came in from the plain His strength was spent, his body pain The smell of lentils filled the air From Jacob's pot, a tempting snare "My brother, let me eat that red, I feel as if I'm nearly dead!"

Is there no blessing left for grace?" He swore to kill the one who stole The promise that had made him whole And Jacob fled into the night To wrestle with an angel's might To earn the name he'd bought and won Beneath a cold and foreign sun. Outro: Oh,the red, red stew... For a hunger that was true. Oh,the field so wide... For a brother who must hide. The birthright...was sold. A story...so old. A choice...so bol
